Understanding Ocean Currents, Tides, and Waves

This educational piece explores the dynamics of ocean currents, tides, and waves. Warm currents are characterized by temperatures higher than the surrounding water, while cold currents are cooler. Tides, driven by the gravitational forces of the moon and sun, alternate between high and low levels daily. Additionally, waves, formed by wind, exhibit circular motion and change shape as they approach the seabed. This comprehensive overview was created by Alicia Sánchez Cid, Isabel Vivas Nieto, Paloma Gundín López, and Carmen Vicente de la Peña.
